El conflicto en Ucrania sigue causando un terrible número de muertes, destrucción, desplazamientos y miseria para el pueblo ucraniano, y se ha informado de la muerte de miles de civiles y de que más de 14 millones de personas (más de una cuarta parte de toda su población) se han visto obligadas a huir de sus hogares. Además, esta guerra está teniendo repercusiones que van mucho más allá de las fronteras de Ucrania o de la región europea, produciendo un efecto de espiral descendente en una economía mundial ya abatida por la COVID-19 y la crisis climática. Los precios de los alimentos, los fertilizantes y la energía han aumentado rápidamente en muchos lugares del mundo, dado el importante papel que desempeñan Rusia y Ucrania en estos mercados.

The conflict in Ukraine continues to cause a terrible toll of death, destruction, displacement and misery for the Ukrainian people, with thousands of civilians reported to have been killed, and more than 14 million people – well over a quarter of the entire population – forced to flee from their homes. In addition, the impacts of this war are being felt far beyond the borders of Ukraine or the European region, producing a downward spiral effect on a global economy already battered by COVID-19 and the climate crisis. Prices of food, fertiliser and energy have risen rapidly in many parts of the world, given the important roles played by Russia and Ukraine in these markets.
